The Port of Rotterdam Authority co-owns the port of Pecém, which, as an industrial and logistics hub for north-east Brazil, offers opportunities for international trade flows and investment from Europe.
The co-operation includes port development, port logistics, hinterland connection, and port-related energy projects, such as offshore wind energy and green hydrogen production.
The accord aligns with the Port of Rotterdam Authority’s efforts to grow the European hydrogen economy.
The port plans to import renewable energy on a large scale for the European energy supply in the form of green hydrogen.
The agreement was signed in the presence of the Netherlands Prime Minister, Mark Rutte, and the Dutch economic delegation at the Port of Pecém and was part of his multi-day visit to Brazil.
The declaration of intent was signed via a live video link between the World Port Centre in Rotterdam, and the Pecém Port Complex Integration Company (CIPP) in Brazil, during the World Hydrogen Summit & Exhibition 2023 in Rotterdam.
